ok.co.ukTikTok influencers have taken to the popular social media app to speak out against Rishi Sunak's recent controversial comments about the trans community.
During the Tory Party Conference in Manchester, the Prime Minister made a speech addressing what pupils are being taught in schools.
He caused outrage to many when he declared that people can't be 'any sex they want to be,' declaring that you can 'only be a man or a woman'.The Prime Minister said: "It shouldn't be controversial for parents to know what their children are being taught in school about relationships; patients should know when hospitals are talking about men or women." "And we shouldn't get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be.They can't; a man is a man, and a woman is a woman.That's just common sense." The speech has sparked a huge debate on TikTok, with influencers now using their huge following to call Rishi Sunak out, accusing him of 'attacking the trans community.' @Yung_pagoda, who runs a social commentary page on the app, gained over half a million views with his response in which he accused the Prime Minister of trying to distract the public from the government's failures.
He said: "The NHS is on its knees; they've backed out of every climate policy they were going to organize, and they're like 'oh, let's have a pop at the 0.4 percent of people in the UK; they're dangerous, they're rising up." Meanwhile, popular TikToker and comedian Ayame P, who has almost 3 million followers, also gave her thoughts on the trans speech.
